Reconstructed title? I've never heard of that before. Do you mean salvaged title? I would not buy a car that has a salvaged title unless it's really cheap. You should check how much the car's worth at www.kbb.com Forgot the other sites I used to check for car prices. Does the car have any problems, anything changed, did the owner do the 60K mile tune-up?

Hmm.... I don't really like the sound of a "reconstructed title." If you really want it, do a carfax on it and get it checked out. Carfax saved my ass on a gsx I was going to buy. Turned out that the car was already in 3 accidents and 2 of which caused the airbags to deploy. So, definately do a carfax on it.

sound like a newbie question...but what's the 60k mile tune-up ?
nice car by the way

run car fax. it will tell you what it was branded for. defently take it to a mitsubishi dealership and have them do a $50 used vehical inspection. just tell them you will fix anything they find, have them put it on a work order and leave with a cost of how much it will be.

whatever KBB private party is on the car, cut it in half and you have what you should pay for the car!

reconstructed (R) title just means that it had a salvage title and was repaired and relicensed. on its own its not a bad thing but it does mine that the car was declared "totaled" at some point by the insurence company.

It's the stuff you have to replace/check at 60,000 miles.

Try to find out why the car was totaled. A flood might not be terribly important but if the frame is bent from an accident you won't want it.

flood cars suck. they usually have weird intermittant electrical problems that are a royal pain in the ass to track down.
